The Western Cape Human Settlements Department said on Saturday it aims to skill unemployed Capetonians through local housing projects.
The government project, which focuses on helping people build their own houses, is one of tools officials will use.
New homes were handed over in KTC on Saturday.
The department’s Kelly Theunis said it is not all about bricks and cement.
“To build houses for themselves, whilst at the same time empowering them with the necessary training, will enable them not only to build the houses but to have something sustainable at the end of the day. They’ve got a skill that they acquired that they can apply somewhere else,” she said.
